Abstract:

In order to reveal the synergistic high-quality relationship between rural finance and economy development, the spatiotemporal evolution was examined by calculating the high-quality development indexes of rural finance and economy development in 31 provincial administrative regions in China (excluding Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan) during 2010-2019 and by employing exploratory spatiotemporal data analysis and a coupling coordination degree model. The high-quality levels of rural finance and economy development showed a graded descending pattern from east to west in the 31 provincial administrative regions, and the co-variation trend of the two showed a south-north differentiation regarding the local spatial structure. The synergistic evolutionary process between rural finance and the rural economy was stable and had no antagonistic relationship, and a spatial agglomeration pattern of coupling coordination degree formed gradually. The results showed the benefits of adopting an inter-regional collaborative development mode, optimising the spatial support system and consolidating strengths and addressing weak links to pursue simultaneous and coordinated development efforts. The findings provided feedback for the synergistic high-quality development of rural finance and rural economy.

Key words: high-quality development, synergistic development, spatio-temporal evolution, coupling coordination
